> **ABOUT BONNIE CARROLL**
> Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Bonnie Carroll founded the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) in 1994, at a time when there was no national support network for the families of America's fallen heroes. Through the loss of her husband, Brig. Gen. Tom Carroll, who perished in an Army plane crash in 1992 along with seven other soldiers, she turned her tragedy into a purposeful effort to create what is today the leading national program providing compassionate care for all who are grieving the death of a service member.
